Jaro, Our Cayenne S rear valance is textured they smooth it out for two reason first is it will be easier to paint on and 2nd is it will be more resistant to cracking.

Raptor, forgive me for 'messing' with your car but I figured your front-on shot could just do with another grille:-

Hey James1....the grill was my idea!! but found it difficult to execute...check pic#3 in my old post. It may not be difficult to cut the hole..but the lower one would be smaller and hence the OEM grill will not fit in the opening.

James1 and 1988carrera: I saw the earlier post several months ago and considered it. Shouldn't be a huge fiberglass task; but the grill inserts are a problem. I personally like the lower grill look. Too bad Porsche didn'tdo it.

Looks great..I really think this color is the way to go...one question about the Techart wheels..are they 20"s or 22"s ?
Thanks
